Question

Point Z is the incenter of triangle RST. Point Z is the incenter of triangle S R T. Lines are drawn from the points of the triangle to point Z. Lines are drawn from point Z to the sides of the triangle to form right angles and line segments Z A, Z B, and Z C. Angle A S Z is (5 x minus 9) degrees and angle Z S B is 16 degrees. What is the value of x? x = 2 x = 3

Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

SZ is the angle bisector of angle S, so ...

∠ASZ = ∠ZSB

5x -9 = 16

5x = 25 . . . . . . add 9

x = 5 . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
